Hang on a sec...
I had a dream last night that I moved to Hackney and I had my bike stolen and also, somewhat bizarrely, a drumkit and a guitar. Some chavs grabbed them and rode away on a scooter. We gave chase on our bikes (I was obviously carrying a spare) and ended up splitting up to "cut them off at the pass" so to speak. We went into their garage where they were sitting and they were all in matching tracksuits. We said we wanted or stuff back and they said they'd give it back tomorrow. The police drove up the driveway, but then drove away and we left hopeful of getting our things back and then I woke up. Am I gay?
Interesting. Could this be about the split between the 'real' you and 'Balki', your forum persona? You say "I" had stuff stolen but the rest of the dream is about "we". You have two bikes, even when one disappears another one is present and this is immediately followed by a strong image of "splitting up". Then when you confront the thieves although they are separate people the image is of one person split in to more than one.
The musical equipment puzzles you; who is this person? The one with a bike you recognise but who is this other character? The dream starts with 'you' making a move; on this forum Hackney is synonymous with bike theft so for a cyclist (Balki) this move is a risky one. Sure enough your bike is stolen and your identity is questioned. Is this a fear that change will lead to disaster, to 'you' not being sure who 'you' are anymore? Or that if you change, make a move, you won't be able to rely on being Balki anymore?
The police's job is to determine the truth of a situation; they approach but do not intercede; their departure leaves you hopeful of getting your things back or, one might say, of re-integration, the threat of detective work, of questions asked, recedes and with it you are relieved and optimistic. Things will return to normal.
You ask Am I gay? You know you are not gay. You are asking, perhaps, Who am I? Am I Balki? -

"Then when you confront the thieves although they are separate people the image is of one person split in to more than one." Er....

that business up there has wrecked my head.
Sorry Balki. I made a nice cake yesterday. It had stem ginger in it, and a clementine frosting.
